      CHAPTER 1

      BASIC DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS

      A differential equation is an equation which involves derivatives of an unknown function.

      An ordinary differential equation is an equation which involves only ordinary derivatives.

      A partial differential equation is an equation which involves partial derivatives.

      The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative that appears in the equation.

      The degree of a differential equation is the greatest exponent of the highest ordered derivative in the equation.

      A linear ordinary differential equation has the general form

      where a0 is not identically zero.

      The conditions for a linear equation are:

      The dependent variable and its derivatives occur only in the first degree.

      No product of the dependent variable and/or any of its derivatives are present.

      No transcendental function of the dependent variable and/or its derivatives occur.

      The question of existence: Does an equation have a solution or not?

      The question of uniqueness: Given an equation with a solution, does it have other solutions? If so, what type of additional conditions must be specified to single out a particular solution?

      The general solution (or primitive) of a differential equation is a relation between the variables which involves n arbitrary constants.

      The constants in the general solution are called essential if they cannot be replaced by a smaller number of constants.

      The primitive is the equation of a family of curves called integral curves. A particular solution is obtained from the primitive by assigning definite values to the arbitrary constants, and is identified as one of the integral curves.

      A primitive involving n essential arbitrary constants will give rise to a differential equation of order n with no arbitrary constants. This equation is obtained when you eliminate the n constants by differentiating the primitive n times with respect to the independent
